Meanwhile, at this very moment, all the executives in the company's boardroom stopped speaking.
It was as if everyone had chosen the same time to fall silent unanimously.
No one had anticipated that a single mysterious shareholder could impact the chairman's attitude so profoundly.
They were all too aware of the kind of person the chairman was, someone who could truly be described as staunch and unyielding.
There was a time when someone had attempted a hostile takeover of a portion of the company's shares, but the chairman stubbornly refused to sell to them. He even went directly to Ice Lake and almost got into a confrontation there.
For the chairman, the company was his everything, more important than his own life. It affected his father as well; and now, oddly enough, the chairman seemed willing to share this company with a shareholder he had never even met. This struck them as very strange.
